Computers & Structures publishes advances in the development and use of computational methods for the solution of problems in engineering and the sciences. The range of appropriate contributions is wide, and includes papers on establishing appropriate mathematical models and their numerical solution in all areas of mechanics. The journal also includes articles that present a substantial review of a field in the topics of the journal.With the modern use of computers and numerical methods to model and solve problems, the traditional boundaries between the fields of solid/structural mechanics and fluid mechanics hardly exist any longer, and multiphysics problems are solved that involve all aspects of mechanics. The word 'structures' must therefore now be interpreted in a broad sense including solids, fluids and multiphysics.Computers & Structures publishes papers in these fields that either present novel and quite general techniques, or offer substantial new insights into important methods. If a paper presents novel techniques, some comparison with known advanced methods is necessary. If a paper is to provide substantial new insights into advanced methods, then this can be achieved by strong numerical experiments, some mathematical analysis, and/or comparisons with well-designed physical test data. In either case, the paper must contribute to advancing the state of the art.The focus of Computers & Structures is on having an impact on the practice of simulations in mechanics as found in many industries and research endeavours, including the fields of engineering, such as civil and environmental, mechanical, biomechanical, automotive, aeronautical, and ocean engineering, and including the various fields of the sciences.In these areas, papers are sought on the automatic solution of mathematical models of 'structures' in the broadest sense, possibly including phenomena of multiphysics, multiscale, and uncertainties. Also, papers presenting algorithms for optimization and the simulation of complete life cycles of systems are sought.Established in 1971, and with online submission and review launched in 2006, Computers & Structures is indispensable for researchers and practitioners in academic, governmental and industrial communities.Related Conferences: can be accessed via the links on the right menu bar, under Related websites.

計算機與結構出版在發展和使用計算方法解決工程和科學問題方面的進展。適當的貢獻范圍是廣泛的，包括建立適當的數學模型及其數值解在所有力學領域的論文。該期刊還包括文章，提出了一個領域的實質性審查的主題的期刊。隨著現代計算機和數值方法的應用，固體/結構力學和流體力學領域之間的傳統邊界已經不復存在，涉及力學各方面的多物理問題得到了解決。因此，“結構”一詞現在必須從廣義上解釋，包括固體、流體和多物理。計算機與結構出版在這些領域的論文，要么提出新穎和相當普遍的技術，要么提供重要方法的實質性的新見解。如果一篇論文提出了新的技術，就有必要與已知的先進方法進行比較。如果一篇論文要對先進的方法提供實質性的新見解，那么這可以通過強大的數值實驗、一些數學分析和/或與精心設計的物理測試數據進行比較來實現。在這兩種情況下，論文都必須有助于提高技術水平。計算機與結構的重點是對實踐產生影響的力學模擬,發現在許多行業和研究努力,包括領域的工程,如土木與環境、機械、生物力學、汽車、航空、海洋工程，包括科學的各個領域。在這些領域，論文尋求的是最廣義的“結構”數學模型的自動求解，可能包括多物理、多尺度和不確定性的現象。此外，論文提出了系統的優化算法和完整生命周期的仿真。成立于1971年，并與在線提交和審查啟動于2006年，計算機和結構是必不可少的研究人員和從業人員在學術，政府和工業社區。相關會議：可通過相關網站右側菜單欄的鏈接訪問。
